GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage. This package contains several useful utilities for manipulating OpenPGP data and other related cryptographic elements. It includes: * addgnupghome -- create .gnupg home directories * applygnupgdefaults -- run gpgconf --apply-defaults for all users * gpgcompose -- an experimental tool for constructing arbitrary sequences of OpenPGP packets (e.g. for testing) * gpgparsemail -- parse an e-mail message into annotated format * gpgsplit -- split a sequence of OpenPGP packets into files * gpgtar -- encrypt or sign files in an archive * kbxutil -- list, export, import Keybox data * lspgpot -- convert PGP ownertrust values to GnuPG * migrate-pubring-from-classic-gpg -- use only "modern" formats * symcryptrun -- use simple symmetric encryption tool in GnuPG framework * watchgnupg -- watch socket-based logs

GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement

GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage. It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC 4880. GnuPG 1.4 is the standalone, non-modularized series. In contrast to the version 2 series, shipped with the gnupg2 package, it comes with no support for S/MIME and some other tools useful for desktop environments, but also with less dependencies. The gnupg package is built without libcurl. So it does not support HKPS keyservers. Install the gnupg-curl package if you want to use the keyserver helper tools built with libcurl and supporting HKPS.
